Hey everyone,
I'm currently visiting someone in California and was looking at ordering a set of soft pastels to keep here, as my Rembrandt sets are too big to transport back and forth. I already have a set of Panpastels here and I brought my pastel pencils, so the sticks would help complete the arrangement.
I'm debating whether to order a 60 or 90 set of Rembrandt half sticks, or a 30 set of Mungyo Gallery hand-rolled. I found all three for decent prices. Per stick, the 90 is the best price. However, when you consider the Mungyos are full sticks, they're a good deal too. I generally like having more colors available, but could make do with the smaller sets as they still have a nice variety.
I'm used to using Rembrandts so there'd be no change there. And the sets contain most of the colors that I'm used to with a few new ones. I've never used Mungyo before. I've read some good reviews on them, but was curious if anyone here has used Mungyo's hand-rolled pastels? How do they compare in terms of hardness/softness? I usually use Rembrandt and Richesons, and I'm assuming these will lie somewhere between as the Richesons are very soft. Has anyone done any lightfast tests on them?
Thanks for any input!
